Student Review
"Rotating between two clinic facilities with exposure in Peds, Retina, Glaucoma, General, Ophthalmologist care departments allows me to get a taste how similar/different things are run versus how things are in the US. Overall healthy patient population, but there are opportunities to encounter patients with AMD, glaucoma, and DR."
